Hi there .
I have had a good read here regarding the 3.2 shogun , There is a 04 plate with 54000 miles locale to me and was thinking I might buy it , the only issue seems the fuel pump failing apart from the fuel tank piping is there any other issues that I should look for .
I would fit a marine / plant type fuel filteration unit to assist the fuel pump issue ,
I have had two LC the current one that I use for my business that is a good vehicle , the shogun is very tidy and would be a clean vehicle .
Your points of view would be respected .

You will need to budget for about £2000 minimum to sort the fuel pump and piping.
Just adding a fuel filter won't sort a damaged pump it will need rebuilding.
Have a read of Geodrome's posts HERE as he documented his pump problems in detail. |

Not sure as I have a MkII and never fancied any of the later models. |
